In the database literature, different types of temporal functional dependencies (TFDs) have been proposed to constrain the temporal evolution of information. Unfortunately, the lack of a common notation makes it difficult to compare, to integrate, and to possibly extend the various proposals. In this paper, we outline a unifying algebraic framework for TFDs. We first introduce the proposed approach, then we use it to give a uniform account of existing TFDs, and finally we show that it allows one to easily express new meaningful TFDs.

Abstract: | In the database literature, different types of temporal functional dependencies (TFDs) have been proposed to constrain the temporal evolution of information. Unfortunately, the lack of a common notation makes it difficult to compare, to integrate, and to possibly extend the various proposals. In this paper, we outline a unifying algebraic framework for TFDs. We first introduce the proposed approach, then we use it to give a uniform account of existing TFDs, and finally we show that it allows one to easily express new meaningful TFDs. |
